Size reduction of bigger breasts? Dr. Berkei explains: breast reduction surgery in Frankfurt am Main

➕ Breast reduction surgery - advantages of Dr. Berkei's practice in Frankfurt
Larger breasts are often idealized in aesthetics. Whether it's a small or a big breast — in our opinion, both are aesthetic. It is crucial that women do not feel affected in everyday life and do not feel any pain. Otherwise, a breast that is too heavy and too large will be uncomfortable and the option of reducing the breast size is an option here.
Dr. Julia Berkei not only specializes in breast augmentation, but also in breast reduction or also known as mastopexy. In our practice in Frankfurt am Main, we share our expertise and provide you with ideal and individual advice on the subject of bust size.
✅ Is breast reduction right for you?
Breast reduction surgery is an option for you if your breast is physically or emotionally straining you in everyday life. Many women opt to reduce their breasts if they suffer from increased back and neck pain or because they feel limited by the weight of their chest.
🌼 Breast Reduction Procedure and Methods - Expertise from Dr. Berkei
We operate at the Berger Clinic's surgical center in Frankfurt am Main, just a few meters away from the Dr. Berkei practice.
The anesthesia is initiated by very experienced specialists and after detailed instructions to our patients. Dr. Berkei carefully marks the incisions and then the incision is performed during a breast reduction operation, during which Dr. Berkei performs a typical I or T incision.

- Periareolar scar — incision around the nipple
- Vertical scar - “I incision”
- Scar in submammary fold - “T-cut”
In most cases, not only is there a reduction in the chest body, but a reduction with repositioning of the nipples is also necessary. Thanks to Dr. Berkei and modern surgical techniques, surgical reduction and tightening of the female breast can achieve a very aesthetically appealing result. After treatment, our patients receive careful follow-up from our medical team.
💰 Breast Reduction Costs — What are they made up of?
The costs of breast reduction consist of various components:
- Duration of operation
- anesthetic
- Care provided by the medical team
- Using the OP Center
- aftercare
Depending on the initial situation and the desired result, the effort and technique used for breast reduction surgery differ significantly. In our practice, we first have an individual consultation, after which Dr. Berkei then explains the costs in a completely transparent way.
🏥 Does health insurance cover the costs?
In certain cases, private health insurance covers the costs of a breast reduction, sometimes also a breast lift, but this is less common. The prerequisite is that the reduction procedure is medically necessary and is not carried out purely for aesthetic reasons.
Breast reduction surgery can be recognized by insurance if there are proven complaints, such as:
- Chronic back pain or posture problems
- neck tension or pressure pain
- Recurrent skin irritation and eczema under the breast fold
- Restrictions in everyday life or sports
In such cases, it is important that pre-medical treatments, such as physiotherapy or pain management, can already be documented. In addition, a specialist opinion (e.g. from orthopedics or gynecology) and photo documentation are often required.
However, since breast lift surgery is an aesthetic procedure, it is unfortunately less likely to take out insurance here. Should excess skin lead to physical limitations, it may, in exceptional cases, be taken over.
Please note: As a private specialist clinic, we work outside the statutory health insurance system. However, we are happy to assist you with all necessary medical documents for your application for private health insurance.
